For Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and now stands in the same rank With Jerusalem, and is in a servile condition with her children. But Jerusalem above is free, which is mother of us all. For it has been written, Be cheered, O barren, bearing not; break out and cry, she travailing not: for many more the children of the desolate than she having a husband. And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise. But as then he born according to the flesh drove out him according to the Spirit, so also now. But what says the writing? Cast out the bondmaid and her son; for the son of the bondmaid shall not inherit with the son of the free.
